Not sure on the logging. There's debug settings and saving to a syslog server but I've never messed with it.

The next time the connection dies open up command prompt.  Depending on what OS there's multiple ways to get there.  Easiest is Windows key + R -> CMD.

In the command prompt type;
ping 192.168.0.1

See if it times out or can reach the 5500.

It times out

I've had issues with 5ghz as well in the same room as the router from time to time.  Disconnecting and back usually fixes it and if not I have to do a router reboot

[FurryNutz]

What devices do you have connected to the 5Ghz radio? Happens if your not in the same room?

I haven't seen this issue myself with mine as of yet.

usually my macbook or ipad, iphone anything wireless pretty much.  I have the 2.4 and 5ghz set up.  When it goes out doesn't matter if I'm in the room or elsewhere in the house it won't work unless I reboot.

What wireless modes are you using on the 5Ghz radio? Mixed or Single?
Is HT20/40Mhz Co-existence enabled?
What FW is currently loaded?

Mixed N/AC co existence enabled. Can't remember what fw I have to double check its def not the beta one. Had all types of problems with the beta so I went back to an earlier fw.

Try w/ co existence disabled.

Mines currently using mixed ALL modes...

I'm using OSX 10.7.5 and 10.9.1

Mixed N/AC co existence enabled. Can't remember what fw I have to double check its def not the beta one. Had all types of problems with the beta so I went back to an earlier fw.

[dyvurcz]

Ok I'll try that in an hour or so. Is the latest fw the best to use? Should I try it again?

[FurryNutz]

IM currently using a beta...you can try the latest as well...

So far that makes 3 of us experiencing this issue.

So I have experienced bad gaming on XBL while using a DIR-868L bridged to the 5500 as the main host router on the 5Ghz radio. 15 ft one room away, gaming lag was fairly significant. I removed the 5500 and install a DIR-865L and the lag went away.

I've forwarded my experienced and included this thread to D-Link for review. I'll post back when I hear something.

Please be patient.

I wanted to expand on this. It was determined that the DIR-868L in bridge mode while connected to the DGL-5500 on 5Ghz seemed to be the issue and D-Link is aware if it. I'm waiting on fix information for the DIR-868L bridge mode issue. I connected the DIR-865L in bridge mode to the DGL-5500 and I did not experience any issues with that bridge.

Is this the RMA problem you are referencing?

Please give some details of this. Are you still having  the 5Ghz issues?

Is this the 1st or 2nd RMA?

Still having issues. I've tried all my routers as bridges, a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54, ASUS RT-N65U, and a Fonera router and all exhibit bad 5GHz connections. I'm pretty sure it might be a bad radio chip in my DGL-5500, but D-Link wants me to talk to one of their senior engineers about it and am told I'd get a call at a certain time, but never actually get the call. All inquiries about getting it replaced are ignored. This would be the second time i'm RMAing this router; The original one I had had dead WAN/LAN ports from the get-go, the replacement, the one i'm trying to RMA has bad 5GHz connectivity (can't transfer a 100mb zip from my computer to my Raspberry Pi without losing connection) and would constantly lock up requiring a reboot. I've done everything from factory resets, downgrading, upgrading, etc. nothing works.
